COVID Update. The average number of new daily cases in Dallas County for the last two-week period is 1,269; for the previous two-week period, it was 957. That’s bad. But we do have some slightly good news to pass along: as of a week ago, UT Southwestern scientists thought this wave of the virus would peak with 1,500 people hospitalized with COVID in Dallas County; now their model puts that number at only 1,200. Mask wearing has helped. So have vaccinations.
